Overactive Bladder

📋Overview

This condition is primarily characterized by involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle, often resulting in increased urinary frequency and nocturia. It is classified as a symptom complex rather than a standalone disease and is the preferred clinical term for these specific urinary sensations.

The syndrome involves neurological pathways and bladder muscle signaling that create a sense of urgency even when the bladder is not full. While it may occur alongside urinary incontinence, the two are distinct clinical observations.
